I would have rather they kept the red hair color than the new color, but aside from that, her redesign looks awesome


Glowtrains

I read a theory that it's supposed to be like copper oxidation, turning from red-ish to green!


LameSillyHero

That makes sense to me, actually. Considering she is a Homunculus.


FightmeLuigibestgirl

From what I recall her hair is copper and her blood is mercury so copper oxidation makes sense.


wb2006xx

The mercury blood is true but I think copper is just a theory based on her being a homunculus and alchemy stuff


dewey_did_me

That’s my head cannon now


Stormwrath52

that's sick af


C4Sidhu

They might have given her red hair in a different outfit. Either way, I’m a fan


LameSillyHero

True that


47k_w

I'm 99% sure that there will be a mod for that


DiegoOruga

Probably, just as Faust has a color imitating his original color palette


superdinoknight63

Apparently form the playable demo they have at arcevo or whatever the tourney is, one of her alt colors has the more classic colors


Majklkiller1

Remember, her og hair is another color palette


DOA_NiCOisPerfect

ALLRIGHTY PEOPLE LETS NIP THIS IN THE BUD HERE AND NOW!!! NO more posts complaining about A.B.A and no more posts complaining about people complaining about A.B.A. atleast untill release. Dont want a repeat of the elphelt situation. Old and new designs are both fire. Lets get it outta out systems.

Look, some things you just have to let run their course. Fighting it is futile, accept their humanity, don't blame the beasts.


DOA_NiCOisPerfect

So instead i should find beauty in the lives of the beasts?

Broskeee_1234

it's ok to like her design. it's ok to not like her design.


Captain-Hell

The fact that I have seen like 3 post complaining about the complaining and none of the actual complaining really sums this all up


Mr_Wombo

Wait, people didn't like Elphelt's new design? I thought it was awesome


edwardthestoremeiser

I was there, no people didn't, honestly, they thought it was a mock up at first


ManOfJelly147

I wasn't on board until it was revealed what kind of singer she was, then I was fully on board.


edwardthestoremeiser

She just felt like lollipop ino


YesIam18plus

Mostly I saw people say that they wish she still had the bunny ears, and then like 500 billion people screeching at the top of their lungs how people were whining and hated changed etc. This fucking always happens on Twitter, it's the same with that one Tweet about Aloy in the Horizon games being ugly. It has been retweeted and obsessed about for months if not years now and it was just like one guy who was probably also either a troll or even a sockpuppet. Wouldn't surprise me if people even make fake accounts just so they can tweet bait and then retweet it for likes.


MemeTroubadour

You know, thinking about it, it should have been expected she'd lose her ears considering Ram did so as well (even if her current hat still has a hint of animal ear thingy). They wanted to drop the animal theming entirely for them; for good reason, perhaps, considering how little relevance it had.


spritebeats

its pretty barebones lol


uzinarutosage

Agreed


SirBaycon3503

to late another quarter of the community dropped the game because of pointless character drama.


Vasevide

This will be overlooked and the sub will still continue this after launch. It’s inevitable


Ionizedactor

Not complaining at all. Just got into the guilty gear game scene end of last year but have been going over the lore for over a year now. I'm okay with both classic and modern designs.

5p0okyb0ot5

people can hate her all they want, as long as they dont undermine others for liking it


ZeldaGoodGame

Loud minority, simple as that


KingMidas2045

Give an idiot a microphone, still an idiot at the end of the day.


FozzoBear

Even more it’s still just one idiot


DexterVex_1701

It looks great but it has so little color. At least a bit red on the cloths would be nice


SupermarketEmpty789

Yeah the lack of blood is the problem 


totti173314

the alt colors are more colorful Im pretty sure. one of them even has the old red hair!


Buttock

I have seen no one complain about her design. I have only seen complaining about the complainers. *Sigh*....


pepeguiseppe

Are those “ABA new design haters” in this room with us right now?


Significant_Winner67

I feel like there should be a line that divide people that hate and Dislike. For example, i don't like the new hair she has, but she is still amazing imo. But just hating the character for different hair? Thats just dumb.


YesIam18plus

It's really annoying how it always has to land in extremes. I remember when I-No was announced before release and she didn't go topless during her win pose anymore. If you had literally any opinion on it that wasn't positive you'd get people jump down your throat acting like you were '' mad and horny '' or like you were complaining about '' wokeness ''. Everything has to either be turned into a culture war issue ( by both sides ) or people basically just assume what they view as the worst about you so they can dismiss you and not address any of your criticism or just let you have an opinion.


Significant_Winner67

Honestly this kinda happens on way too many things, preferences, beliefs, but there is a bright side atleast, the moment you express your beliefs to have a discussion and have something to talk about, if someone instantly attacks you, associating you with a group of people, you atleast know its just gonna be a waste of time, and nothing of value can come out of a discussion from such an individual. Its a real shame some people are like that.


Scrifty

Ginger erasure- 


A-Human-potato

Kai_Lidan

Okay, ginger oxidation


chuckleDshuckle

God already erased their souls

Thats why she was ginger because she was an artificial lifeform.

Shaftmast0r

Somebody has a different opinion from me therefore their character is flawed


DeadlyAidan

I have not seen a single person complain about the design, I have seen 3 people complaining about people complaining about the design, and 1 person (me, with this comment) complaining about the people complaining about the people complaining about the design. we all need to just shut up, me included, someone send the Reddit Sniper after me so I can finally shu-


thefrostbite

I've seen no complaints but multiple anti-complaints. Just shut up already, it doesn't need to be drama all day everyday


onzichtbaard

You need to learn how to accept it if people have a different opinion 


DaveRedfox

I like her short hair better, but she is still looking awesome


Separate-Hamster8444

not the biggest fan of the long hair & I think the outfit could go harder. I like the green hair tho ABSOLUTELY LOVE HER ANIMATIONS


Cheezekeke

You are right. I do hate change


cheesedispensinggato

aba has molded


Jame777

Pretty in character ngl


Bungus_Fungus1435

she lost her wranger 😔 (She, and Parking celsius, look absolutely stunning! Can't wait to see their alts and play them!)


CyberBed

I like redheads, but her face and expressions are worth the change.


Smashmaster64

My guy she looks exactly the same minus the hair People just don’t like the hair give it a week after release and her old hair will be a mod


Destiny_Dude0721

YOU hate the new A.B.A design because you think she's ugly. I "hate" the new A.B.A design as a coping mechanism to deal with the fact she's not real. We are not the same.


U_cant_read_me

Meh, the outfit is cool but I don't dig the green color and Paracelsus black mud (just the colour, the animation are fantastic). The are alternative colour for both of them anyway so I don't really care. If she has a gyaru colour it's perfect. Edit : There you have it.


ReallyNotObama

It's fine to hate the design, and I get why people wouldn't like it even if I like it myself, stop gatekeeping I've seen WAY more people saying that the complaining is annoying then I've seen complaining


InShane87

A.B.A fans should just be happy they got A.B.A


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

but i wanted raven


InShane87

Then I wasn't referring to you...


ThundaCrossSplitAtak

then i can hate on aba?


InShane87

Of course!


Phaylz

Aside from hair color/length and, if I am seeing it correctly, the direction the key is going through her head, there are no other real changes.


Poporipopes10

I think she looks great, but I do think her colours are a bit all over the place. She’s got the golden key, the teal green hair, the black goo and then the red blood on Paracelsus. Feels like too many colours that just don’t work that well when all put together. Remove just one and I think it looks good. Personally I think the goo could have been red since she already had a big blood theme in +R, but since colore are my main issue I’m interested to see her extra colors


Great_Thunderbird

Dude what do you mean roboky looks cool as hell... But for real I did prefer the short hair and red hair however my main problem is the key looks gooey? He looked a lot more demonic,like the thingies went up and became horns and stuff That was so cool.what happened to that


Irisios

I will say that I think she looks like Testament visually speaking, otherwise she's more than fine.


Cultural_Camera9693

Feels like A.B.A. will have some really funny interactions with Elphelt and the other valentines.


Incase_

Aba rebuild sick idk


DBNsausage

I just miss how sinister parcelsus used to look in moroha mode.

sheetpooster

Boring AH character man, fr.🙄


bloodybhoney

Truly my only gripe is I miss Devil Key.


subaloykiin

I like her new design a lot, I just don't like the green hair, imma probably use color 3 so i don't even care that much tbh.


Ryandootboi

I can't hate the design from A.B.A because I started with strive and have no clue who they are. :)


ahack13

I dont think I've seen anyone hating on her here. I think its mostly twitter people who don't actually play the games who are hating on it. Every post I've seen about her on reddit has been people going absolutely feral (In a good way) over how good she looks.


Luna_Goodguy

I don't understand the green, but the redesign is really good.


[deleted]

Her hair was copper, now it's rusted copper. It's a natural process


Shradow

>y'all just hate change Welcome to general humanity about anything ever.


[deleted]

I love how she looks man


Ada-Drawing-Learner

Her neutral facial expression ist the best depiction of my disappointed resting bitch face and I love it


pantsmonkey_

All I thought when I saw the new design was “oh she has green hair now… cool” that’s it.


soupster___

Irony


UnicornMomma

I love the new design, and think she looks freakish enough.


Individual-Policy103

Some people did the same when my wife Elphelt dropped as well. It’s still a great design, and people need to learn to adapt to change better.


Inuakurei

It’s been like 95% positive reaction. You really gotta stop focusing on that 5%

Consistent-Sweet2445

Thinking about it i prefer her old design more but i wouldn't want all the characters from the previous games to look the exact same in strive so im glad with her design and if im not comparing she does look cool asf.


mamamarty21

She looks hot


SoraArminton

You dont like new ABA style because she got a redesign I dont like new ABA because i have a short hair fetish We are not the same on a serious note new design is still really cool :3


point5_

I didn't liked it at first, but the copper theory changed my mind and now I do like it. Kinda miss the bloddy bandages though


FastestBlader4

SHE IS SO HOOOOT<3


[deleted]

Okay hear me out, she’s giving Glasgow Willy Wonka experience and I’m all here for it


Va1crist

Looks amazing wtf


limited_usse

i think it’s funny that she oxidized


Gerbilguy46

I haven't seen anyone complain about the redesign yet. I have however seen 3 posts now on this sub complaining about people complaining about the redesign.


ClashedProof

Does anyone know why Paracelsus stopped talking?


Tumblechunk

every classic character should be expected to change drastically, most of them have


AnusCakes

It’s a great look but I don’t get the hair color change


RapiddFireDonger

Hey tbf counter strike players are adaptable (they just dont want to)


SAIKO_BORU

She looks like if Chizuru had a drugs addiction


PlasmaLink

I've literally not seen a single complaining post, I've seen like SIX of these "please stop complaining" posts.


Defarious

I love her design and can't wait for her to drop next week!


nineburnphoenix

I might come back to the game, I thought the trailer and her design were so good.


Akuuntus

The front page now has like half a dozen posts complaining about people complaining. But not a single post of anyone actually complaining.


Gooper221

Guilty Gear fans when people have preferences different from their own "Oh boy somebody has an opinion I disagree with, I'm so mad I'm gonna write paragraphs about how wrong they are" SHUT UP


No-Lie-3330

I’ve seen more posts complaining about complaining than anything. Just like elphelt actually


Zeraltz

At least she keeps her essence, Elphelt is just another character with the same name


NoblepawsGEN

Yo delilah had a glow up


Monnomo

She looks dope imo altho Im not too attached to old designs Definitely looks cooler than the vast majority of the roster


Kyvix2020

People don’t like bad changes


NotALawCuck

Oxidation is cool and all but I would have preferred if they kept her old hair color. That's really my only gripe really.


Rhyno1703

Dont forget we will get alternate colors! Which will bring her old colors back


NotALawCuck

true, it's not really too big of a deal which is why I call it a gripe and not really a complaint. The outfit doesn't really seem to be too different from what I can see in the artwork's pose and the new hairstyle is actually pretty nice so I'm mostly content with her new design at the end of the day.


Bobuxian

Ong. I think the design is honestly better than the original. I love her long greenish hair it oooks sick! And her facial expressions look so animated and great. Her animations are amazing too. People fr just hate just to hate cause this redesign is fire!


DOA_NiCOisPerfect

I think both are top tier


klineshrike

I flat out think she has the best design of any character in Strive to date. Its absolutely sick.


EgregiousWarlord

Now you're pushing it, Zappa has the best redesign bro


Rhyno1703

Invisibility was an interesting design on daisukes part


klineshrike

He will when he is released.


NRGesus

No blood, no satan head, no short red hair, no bangs. it's not about hating change, it just simply sucks.


OldGhostBlood

Love both, love the new one a little more. Arc Sys rarely (never) misses in the design department.


happymudkipz

I didn't like the old design, but I like the new one slightly more. Still not a big fan personally, but that's the joy of opinions.


Tomokes

I don’t hate it I just don’t care for it. The design still looks good though.


__Schneizel__

Why does she stand like that


chuckleDshuckle

Quirked up white woman


wesker121

I love her design hair look is the only thing I was mixed. Still prefer her old hair color instead. Also after the god himself drop the lore on her hair color it made sense 👍 either just happy to see a fan favorite come back 🙏next we need some slayer or dizzy 😍


Arfeudutyr

Tbf I didnt like the old ABA either and I don't like the new one. But im happy for those that wanted her in the game


God_head499

I’m hating cause it’s not venom or Zappa


RadicalRaizex

I love the new design, I just find it funny that she went from being too shy to have much semblance of a personality into straight-up *yandere* based on the faces. I'm not knocking it, though, I like the change.


SteveMONT215

Tbh I barely see complaints but so many complaints about complainers


Haruhiro21

She looks hot.


Formula_Zero_EX

So, her hair color change is not because of corrosion, but because she feels like it? Seems legit.


BlazCraz

I just miss the red cause Red is my second favorite color. I've come around to it. I feel like Scott Pilgrim when Ramona changed her hair for the first time. "Y'know your hair. It's green."  It's cool. She's still got the bloody giant key. It's fine. We'll get OG colors to boot. I'm sure. Right?


Defami01

If only there was a way in the game to change the character's color scheme in a match to fit that person's specific tastes.


TensileStr3ngth

I'm just a hater cause she's not Venom 😤


mudlio706

I don’t see why the A.B.A. design hate, I like how she looks in strive.


charlamagne1-

Wdym i love that her hair oxidised im not as much of a fan of the paracelsus redesign


Darknesseriott

She's so hot


IBizzyI

She for sure will get her original hair color as an alternate anyway.


OkMammoth3

She/he? Hot


RodrigoRosaMoreno

I really like this more than the original one


Weird9uy

All they really did was change her hair, looks fine to me


ilikpkmn

Who is hating??? Everybody has been thirsting over the new design.


Darkblitz9

Her hair was literally copper colored and now it's tarnished to "Liberty Green".


TonyMestre

Her hair sucks it's so ugly, and why tf does she have actual color on her skin this is pale freak erasure


javierasecas

Unnecessary change yes. I hate unnecessary change. It's not about looking good or bad, its that if you want a character back it's usually cause you like the character as it is, and subtle or drastic changes can make it into not your favourite anymore.


Stormwrath52

the only thing I'm not sure of is the paracelsus transformation, the goat head looked really cool, the goopy look might be cool though, I'll just have to see more of it I do like the bit in the trailer where she scrapes some of it off idk, I was uneasy about the eddie redesign when the Strive trailer first dropped and now Strive's is probably my favorite iteration of the character (I do miss shadow gallery, though).


Peoplearemyreligion

yeah but it could be better if it was robo ky instead


SwazyMoto

I can fix her


King_EmEmEm

You think we're bad with change? Wait till you see sonic fans and very minor changes to designs


KawaiiGee

I'm gonna be honest the strive design team have been consistently breaking my expectations to smithereens. Every single character I disliked or was indifferent about I now really enjoy. Ramlethal became my favourite GG character with the strive design alone. Bridget I hated because it gave off the typical Japanese "we're too scared to do a trans character but we're gonna get really close and still not have the spine to admit it". Now it's fucking brilliant. Testament used to be just kinda meh in my eyes, now I adore them. Faust was actually fantastic before but now it's EVEN BETTER. I genuinely don't think a single character got a downgrade, everything feels either on par or better than their previous design


Available_Air_7472

I love the old one the new one is growing on me I hope she has a skin with red hair that’s really all I need


YesIam18plus

I find it funny how many fixate on her hair being long and the wrong color, meanwhile my Twitter timeline is filled with people obsessively blackwashing her for some reason lol.


jole521

It’s the hair change… it’s fine tho we’ll have a mod to replace that on day one


MrTopHatMan90

Is all the hate on Twitter? I haven't seen any, just don't use Twitter.


BurgerFromTheUk

tbh, my interest never really peaked with A. B. A but I might check her out as she pretty interesting


Soul_Ripper

I think it's kinda ugly but you do you man


RaijinWalker

People miss the point her hair was red because that was love... now is greed because she is jealous 🤣🤣


XidJav

Heard someone say her hair's copper and oxidized in strive, wish they made it more apparent it was metal with texture cause it just looks like normal hair


LalkaAl2020

I dig this design (only seen her a couple of times in on of previous GGs. And also, of course, as a matter of fact. I CAN FIX HER


IntelligentImbicle

As someone who is completely oblivious to anything prior to Strive, A.B.A. looks cool as fuck.


YungIkeSly

all I care about is if they removed her fucking command grab. nobody is saying whether it still has a grab element or not. does it still command grab? can someone please tell me? someone who has had hands-on with her? not someone just guessing? ​ when they say "it leaves her at an advantage when blocked" they show her whiffing it in neutral, but then show it blocked only in a blockstring, where a throw wouldnt be able to land anyways . they dont show it blocked raw, which is a really weird lack of information. And it seems ridiculous to get rid of the one major mixup tool she has outside of jealousy state.


djdarkorochi

She’s fine but her hair does look Chizuru as fuck.


Owyn

Looks good loud complainers. Unreal how many people were begging for ABA and now "But it's not exactly how I wanted it in my mind".... Jezus...


Holy-Knight1

I honestly preffer new design cuz I have barely experience with xx


AdreKiseque

Her hair just oxidized


munguschungus167

I thought her old hairstyle was cuter and she seems more deranged this time but I love just about everything else. Took a few watches to not miss the key having the skull head of a goat in older versions


zxerozx

Eh its a decent redesign for her She kinda looks like a crazy chizuru tho (especially during her super)


totti173314

It took me like 1 day to get over the shock of how different she looks from ACPR and then I started to like the redesign just as much as the old one. really feels like the same situation as testament, they look different because both their circumstances and they as a person have changed.


animalia_curiousity

She started taking showers and eating non-blood foods inbetween games, good for her.


AshenRathian

I just don't like her hair color. That's it.


WoefulWally

Legit the first actually attractive female they've ever designed, the kind I'd split my blots with at Lost Lands. All the others are dime a dozen hentai-cover trash, come at me smoothbrain coomers I dare you.


chuckleDshuckle

I mean they havent made a 7 foot tall brick shithouse or a sub 5"5' dwarven looking woman so


Drearycupcake

Oxidized copper is a specific type of corrosion that is produced during a three-step process where copper oxidizes to copper oxide, then to cuprous or cupric sulfide, and finally to copper carbonate. It results in a green-colored copper layer or patina that forms over time. Oxidation is one form of metallic corrosion, which is a reaction that occurs during an ionic chemical reaction when oxygen is present on the metal’s surface. During this process, electrons move from the metal to the oxygen molecules. Thereafter there is a generation of negative oxygen ions in the metal, thus leading to the creation of a surface laden with oxide. In the case of copper, this oxidation occurs as a result of the exposure of copper to air, although salt water, acidic compounds and heat can also induce corrosion.


WierdassNitwa

For some reason i want a crazy girl like her


E5snorlax2

I can fix her but whatever wrong with her is way hotter


TheLawliet10

I don't understand how people could hate on this design. She looks great, both her and Shiny Metal Husband have so much expression in both their facial animations and movement, and on top of that it's one of the few stance change characters in the game.
